ÄCAUTION: The memory module sockets have gold metal contacts. When upgrading the memory, it is important to use memory modules with gold metal contacts to prevent corrosion and/or oxidation resulting from having incompatible metals in contact with each other.

ÄCAUTION: Static electricity can damage the electronic components of the computer or optional cards. Before beginning these procedures, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by briefly touching a grounded metal object. Refer to Section 5.2, “Electrostatic Discharge Information” for more information.

ÄCAUTION: When handling a memory module, be careful not to touch any of the contacts. Doing so may damage the module.

1.Prepare the computer for disassembly (Section 8.1).

2.Remove the computer access panel (Section 8.3).

ÅWARNING: To reduce risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching.

3.Open both latches of the memory module socket 1, and insert the memory module into the socket 2. If you are replacing a memory module, place it in the socket vacated by its predecessor.
